In college and university libraries across the nation, information literacy has become more than just an area of instruction—it has become part of the core mission of the organization. This step-by-step guide is designed to show academic library managers, instructors, and staff how to create a synthesized information literacy plan. The authors offer guidance about how to decide what to teach, when and how to deliver instruction, how to assess outcomes, and revise based on assessment results. The preliminary steps—team building; needs assessment; environmental scans; timelines; and goal setting are outlined. Then key sections provide methods for writing, maintaining, assessing, and promoting the finalized plan. The writing process—establishing a structure, setting priorities, addressing audiences, finalizing and approving the document, and more—is simplified and explained. Special sections include lists of information literacy support associations, definitions, best practices, and Web sites. The CD-ROM enables users to adapt and print their own planning workbook, checklists, and supporting documents to use individually or with larger groups and committees.

From tech schools to colleges, high schools to grad schools, research involves making sense of information, dealing with overload, learning the basics of planning, and evaluating the quality of sources. As information proliferates, immediate gratification takes precedence. Students often use the easiest tools available rather than making the effort to identify the best. There is another way! Successful research skills require a basic grounding in information literacy as well as planning. Students who learn to follow these step-by-step instructions in the research process can tackle any research project confidently and on time. This workbook, tied to the ACRL Standards for Information Literacy, provides hands-on tools for reference and instruction librarians at colleges and community colleges as well as others appointed to teach students how to conduct research and to be literate in the information sea. Each exercise address one or more of the nationally accepted ACRL benchmark standards for information literacy education. The exercises promote conceptual and applied skills via active learning, problem-based learning, and/or resource-based learning. Ready-to-use and easy to modify, these 35 lessons can be used as a full semester course or as a single focused seminar or workshop. Covering the basics of planning, collecting, and evaluating, the workbook exercises show how to access books and bibliographic information as well as periodicals and indexes, in addition to online sources. This hands-on workshop-in-a-book - with expert advice and explanations throughout - makes it easy to get an information literacy program up and running. It features a time line and a sample from the University of Rhode Island's "Paper Trail Project," a semester-long program proven to help students learn and apply information literacy skills.
